Overview
- The Office of Personnel Management announced on June 10 that it awarded Oracle a roughly $395.8 million, 10-year firm-fixed-price contract to build a single, cloud-based Federal HR 2.0 platform.
- The platform is meant to replace more than 100 disparate agency HR systems and serve about 2 million federal employees, consolidating functions like position management, personnel actions, time and attendance, and payroll integration.
- The solicitation requires FISMA and FedRAMP security compliance, audit-ready reporting, workforce analytics, and interoperability with existing federal IT systems, and OPM says it completed hands-on testing and live demonstrations before selecting Oracle.
- Legal challenges to the procurement were resolved before the award after competitors filed protests during the yearlong competition and OPM proceeded with the selection once protests cleared.
- OPM plans a core implementation by the fall followed by phased agency transitions and sustainment, and officials say final cost and schedule will depend on complex data migration, agency security needs, and integration with legacy systems such as PeopleSoft.
